Special thanks to my Learned bro @TumukundeTT for leading the team that has facilitated discontinuation of the Young Lawyer's Prosecution.
Our demand still remains the same:- Turning the unnecessary LDC Graduation Ceremony into an Advocates Enrolment Ceremony. Upon completion of LDC a Lawyer should be able to practice law without any further hindrance.
Dear Advocate, Going Forward, Don't Admit Clerkship Students in Your Law Firm If You're Not Ready or Can't Afford Maintaining Them.
As Simple As That!
Breakfast, Lunch & Transport Allowance Should be the Basic Minimum But You Can Still Go Ahead & Provide Accomodation. Thanks.
@MKapidi What has bothered you is how the letter reached media not the contents?
Btw do you provide lunch and transport to your clerkship students or you just post them and that’s all?
A 37 year old firm sat down and drafted a whole letter complaining about a kid asking for a week to rest after the Mbarara journey and asking for food. 😭 They probably added the week’s rest bit just to make the student look lazy. Whole time, it’s a tantrum about food money.
@SimonKaggwaNjal Simon.. you don’t have to be part of every conversation.
The above captioned letter doesn’t talk about an intern.
You need to differentiate between an intern and a clerkship student.
Have some sense in that old damn head gay man.
Breakfast, lunch and transport allowance has a law firm writing letters on headed paper to send a student back to LDC. The bare minimum!! They didn’t even ask to be paid. Their only request is facilitation to come to work and to not be hungry as they work. Stupid ass profession!!
